The Navy’s Chief of Information on Friday released a summary of recent sexual assault statistics from around the fleet — the first of what will become a weekly report aimed at bringing more transparency to the problem.

■ 11 of the reported assaults occurred on-base, seven off-base, and three from unknown locations.

■ 18 alleged offenders were male, two were female, and one was unknown. The vast majority were known to their alleged victims. One was an officer, nine were petty officers, five were E-3 or below, and six were unknown.

■ 11 incidents are reportedly “service member on service member” assaults.

■ Among these alleged victims, one was an officer, six were petty officers, ten were E-3 and below, and four were civilians. Of these reported, 18 were female and three were male.

These weekly sexual assault reports follow the Navy’s recent decision to start publishing courts-martial results on a monthly basis on its official homepage.
